How you doin? I
had a great morning with the kids yesterday. Bike rides and snake
watching. Audie and I saw a big black snake on our street and watched it
sliver off into the woods. Audie thought it was awesome. I thought her
response was awesome. I don't dig snakes. We then found a snake skin.
Most fascinating for the kids. I love watching them grow. John 9 today.
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” (John 9:3-5)

This
verse makes me ask, "who's the light of the world now?". The word
"while" makes me think there's a continuation on this subject. Stacey
and I were both drawn to these verses. She found some verses that answer
my question.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14)
Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. 36 Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them. (John 12:35-36)

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
(2 Corinthians 4:6)
COME ON!!!!!!!
For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
(Acts 13:47)
So,
I believe that we are the light of the world. SAY WORD!!!!!!! The other
part of John 9 that got me was the blind man's testimony. I love the
simplicity of the blind man's testimony.
Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.” (John 9:15)
He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” (John 9:25)

WESOME!!!!!!!
This healed blind may offer us, in my opinion, the funniest verse in the Bible.
He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”
(John 9:27)
I can just see the Pharisees faces. Too funny. Jesus' compassion is on full display as well.
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” (John 9:35)
Not
only does Jesus heal the blind man, but once He heard the man had been
thrown out of the synagogue, He went to find him. DIG IT!!!!!!! Now
that's some descent follow up. Ask Jesus to illuminate your heart today.
